Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana

This Sausage and kale soup is made with a bag of kale salad mix! How easy is that? The sausage helps flavor the soup. Remember to use high quality stocks for your soups!

Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana

I use an organic soup base when I am out of stock. Or when my soup needs extra flavor. These can be found in small glass jars in the soup aisle. They are a soup makers secret weapon when homemade stocks are not to be found.

1 bag kale salad mix

1 - 2 cans cannellini bean (white navy beans) OPTIONAL

2 cups half and half
